I spent approx. 45 minutes birding the willow thicket and oak woodland
east of Dornan Drive at Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline this morning in
the hopes of seeing some migrants (this area is slightly east and
upslope from the boardwalk, which is located across the street from the
main parking lot and between the yellow Richmond Ramblers building to
the north and the Golden State Model Railroad Museum to the south).
Observations of interest included a single Warbling Vireo (song only),
1-2 Townsend's Warblers (saw one and think I heard another singing),
Hermit Thrush (5), Lincoln's Sparrow (1), and Fox Sparrow (1). Lingering
along with these last four winter residents were several Ruby-crowned
Kinglets (two in full song) and a few Yellow-rumped Warblers. I plan on
checking this area at least once a week over the next month and a half
or so (I work in Pt. Richmond)...hopefully migrant activity will pick up
a bit.
